Please note that as of 31 January 2022, there is a new exemption from testing for an employee who has had COVID-19 and is past the period of ordered isolation – they do not need to be tested for the following 30 days following a positive RT-PCR test.

Responsibilities after the end of testing

Employers are required to keep a record of the tests performed for the following 90 days for auditing purposes, including: the date of testing, the names of the individuals who took the test on that date, including their date of birth, insurance number, and the name of the health insurance company.

Options for further employee testing
